Give me give me danger

I got my errands run this morning, and most of my clothes laid out today, so I’m in good shape to just take care of little, last minute things tomorrow! It’s supposed to be a nice and much less humid day, so I should be able to get a little last minute sunbathing in, too. Yay!

I got some CDs ready to go, and although I’ve got some stuff like Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers’ “Mojo,” and Springsteen’s “Wrecking Ball,” I’m going heavy on the Green Day and did you really think I’d go for long without posting a Green Day song?! Bahaha!

Silly people.

I don’t know what it is lately, but I am just in total punk mode. Not speed metal or anything…I’ve never gotten into that, and Green Day isn’t even close to that. They are very close to the punk that I listened to in high school and college, and for whatever reason, that is just what is speaking to me right now.

Hey, I’m not going to over-analyze it. The most important thing is that it is really rocking my world right now, and that is all that matters.

How about some “Sex, Drugs & Violence”?

All my life trouble follows me like a mystery, girl
I've been chasing down a memory like a mystery, girl
I've been getting lost searching my soul all around this town
I took a wrong turn at growing up and it's freaking me out

Back at school it never made much sense
Now I pay but I can't pay attention
Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life
Too dumb to die I guess, but that's the way it goes
Sometimes I must regress to

Sex, drugs & violence
English, math & science,
Safety in numbers
Give me, give me danger

Well I don't want to be an imbecile
But Jesus made me that way
All my life I've been running wild like a runaway
Wherever the night takes me like a stowaway

Back at home it never made much sense
Now I pay but I can't pay attention
Teaches me the hardest lessons of my life
Too dumb to die I guess, but that's the way it goes
Sometimes I must regress to

Sex, drugs & violence
English, math & science,
Safety in numbers
Give me, give me danger

As I was listening to this, I was trying to think of what it reminded me of. The closest I could come was Rockpile. The lines “Sex, drugs & violence/English, math & science” just really made me think of them. Kind of an innocent vibe and beat, except for the lyrics. I love the line “Give me, give me danger.” It makes me think about my bad decisions in the past, but also about how I got past those bad decisions and started making better ones. I still do dumb things sometimes, but I’m definitely on a better track!

I am still sometimes a bit of a Troublemaker so the “give me give me danger” line speaks to me.

And yeah, I just went meta and linked to a Green Day video in a post about a different Green Day video!

Next week, I may very well be “sunburned in a pink bathing suit.”

TURN IT UP!
